In a 96 well microplate or tube array, a row of 8 samples is processed simultaneously by the line transducer in the LE220. By indexing across all 12 rows, the 96 samples are actually processed 8X faster than with a single-sample instrument. The LE220 can process a wide variety of sample formats (including 24, 48, 96, 384 and beyond) an entire row at a time.
